I have the latest version of Firefox (3.6.8) - not a beta version. Many sites I go to tell me that I need to update my browser, and include Firefox as an option. I have checked and rechecked, there IS no further update available! I have cleared my cache. These sites still work, but WHY am I being prompted to update? Hotmail is one of the offenders.
